Can you give a rating higher than five stars? One of Folletts's best books, and that is saying a lot! I was so engaged in the history of the time period! I was constanly checking Google to get the facts of what was being presented in the book! I was so intrigued that I watched the moives Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth! Ken Follett is one of my most favortie authors!

Tercera parte de “Los pilares de la Tierra” un libro igual de bueno que los dos anteriores. Ken Follet no hace una lectura fácil; tienen muchísimas descripciones y explicaciones, es una lectura al principio lenta pero que sin ningún tipo de duda, merece la pena ser leída. No sabría decir cuál me ha gustado más de los tres, creo que cada uno tiene una esencia distinta y unos personajes a los que coger muchísimo cariño. Ojalá saque una cuarta parte porque me da mucha pena despedirme de una ciudad que me ha dado tan buenos momentos.

Excellent book and very well written. Not the type of book I normally read, but I found it not only very good but also educational.

Follett is so good at filling in a lot of the gaps of the history you thought you knew, using characters so skillfully drawn that you find yourself forgetting that all of them are not "real" people.
